OVERLAND PARK, KS – The Johnson County Community College men’s basketball team was able to get back on a the left side of the column, posting a 60-48 road win over Wentworth Military Academy, Monday night in Lexington, Mo. The victory snapped JCCC’s five-game losing streak and improved the team’s season mark to 4-6. The Cavaliers open East Jayhawk Conference play this weekend at Highland Community College.
